It’s now a year since our Grand Opening event which was held on 20th May 2023 as an opportunity to thank our sponsors and everyone who has helped so far, however, the garden is not officially open every day as yet. We are close to completion of construction now and soon the garden will be open every day so the whole community can come along and see, feel, hear, smell and taste what the garden is all about. Until then, the garden is open every Wednesday and Saturday from 8am until 4pm. (On the first Saturday of the month when we will be at the Beachmere Community Markets).
We were excited to hold the first International Community Gardens Day event on Sunday 26th November 2023.
Thank you to Moreton Bay Regional Council for the installation of the concrete at Beachmere Community Garden. This surface will ensure that the garden is accessible to everyone in the community – something that is important to us and obviously to MBRC as well.
We thank Karen from Beachmere History and Research for putting us in touch with the Beachmere Community Association, which resulted in our group re-designing the gardens at the Community Hall in Progress Ave Beachmere.
We have also held a wonderful Neighbour Day event in Beachmere where representatives of groups from all over the Moreton Bay region joined us for a day of discussion on inclusion and a great opportunity to get to know our neighbours!
Thank you to Moreton Bay Regional Council for supporting this event and for providing amazing refreshments. Cr. Booth offered his apologies as he was previously committed but we carried on the tradition of ‘holding the basket of goodies’ with our special guest Ms. Ali King MP taking up the challenge!
Special thanks to Ms. King for attending and for the generous gift of the garden trolley (shown in photos below). This will be such a useful item for our garden – and has already been put to use!
